Prep. Time: 10 mins.
Cooking Time: 45 mins.
Servings: 6-8


Ingredients:

2 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Kasha
1/2 cup Butter
3 chopped Onions
1 lb Bowtie Pasta
3 tsp Salt


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 °F

Mix the eggs, kasha and a 1/2 tsp of salt by hand in a small bowl

Spread the mixture on a skillet and bake for 15 to 20 mins.

While the kasha is baking, fry the onions in the butter in a large pot until they caramelize, approximately 15 mins.

While the onions and kasha are cooking, boil 6 cups of water for the kasha and another large pot of water for the pasta. Into the pasta pot add 2 tsp salt. In the kasha pot, add 1/2 tsp of salt.

Remove the kasha from the oven. Break it apart and pour it into the boiling water. Simmer for 15 mins. or until the water has been fully absorbed.

Boil the pasta for approximately 20 mins.

Once the kasha and pasta are done, mix them in with the onions and serve.
